From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

hey cool the nazis using the nazi made wm
I'm out of the loop on this one? A Swedish using a Polish WM, and you call them Nazis?
I know that the hyprland dev has strong political opinions, but I genuinely dont know what they are because I don't care, and I use another WM. Are they really both Nazis? I dont know because I dont follow these guys. I dont want this word to be misused when actual Nazis are trying to take over the free world again
Vaxry was acting Polish in front of Drew DeVault and was immediately labeled nazi apologist.
The discussion went like this:
— is there anything that could sway your opinion towards genocide? — well, claiming "no" would be presumptuous, I am just a human, so, probably yes? — I rest my case
"look at me! give me attention!"
